"As a visitor to Perth who likes to see live theatre, this was a terrific show in a great venue. The versatility and impact of the acting and its closeness was most appreciated."
Zen's Red Mouth audience member, July 2007

"Loved the show, I always enjoy the performances at The Blue Room. Artsy atmosphere, but not pretentious, cutting edge performances. Never boring"

About the Venue

28 September to 16 October 2010

  

Featuring Hanna Cormick, Benjamin Forster and Charles Martin
in collaboration with writer/director Peter Butz

Step into the distant future and look backwards in time with Last Man to Die as the Canberra-based cross-artform collective explores the emotional and social consequences of artificially extending human life.

"Your actions could change the history of humanity forever. Forever."

This self-titled interactive theatre installation invites you to explore mankind's reaction to near-future technologies - extended lifespan, A.I. and brain-computer interfaces - through an interdisciplinary blend of drawing, percussion and performance.

With the theatre transformed into a museum of the future, the audience is given control of the action and text through use of new technologies.

"The group has successfully found a way of utilising tensions between the competing art forms to pave a collaboration that is technically sophisticated and conceptually original."
- Joe Woodward, Trinculo’s Shadow

Welcome to the future; have fun living forever.

Supported by the ACT Government, the Australian Government, TechNyou and PACT Centre for Emerging Artists.
